Here are some cute, sparkly and unique golden gifts ideas for a golden birthday or anniversary - golden themed gift ideas you can DIY and make for your recipient, that are low cost and super unique and special - they will never expect!
Best DIY and unique gold gifts ideas
1. A golden cupcake pullapart
The way to their heart is through their stomach! Just take a whole bunch of un iced cupcakes, then arrange them in a gold inspired design to suit your recipient's tastes - you could try their age/number of years married or even arrange in the shape of a champagne bottle - then ice over all of them as one, before adding more layers of different coloured frosting and some finer details to bring the design to life!
2. A beautiful golden shell ornament gift
These are so beautiful and make for the perfect golden gift to DIY! Grab yourself an oyster shell to decorate - you could even use one to DIY a candle as a stylish gift for your recipient. You could visit some DIY stores and grab some free wallpaper samples, then you will just need your shell or shells of choice, some gold craft paint and some glossy lacquer craft paint to finish. If you are short on time, there are so many beautiful oyster shell gifts to choose from, ready made!
